Let’s list frames with 26.2 seat posts….
Obviously Cinelli
I sold my 3ttt to a gent who said his Rossin called for 26.2. (He wrote a glowing review so I will stop doubting him.)
Just got a shop donation of several (10?) 26.2 seat posts.
maybe no one uses that size and their old campy rep convinced them they needed them. I don’t know.
anyway, who else uses 26.2?

Bikes: More than the people who ride them...oy.
Would almost have to be something metric for a road bike. 28.6 outside diameter tubes would have to be 1.2 mm thick at the top of the seat tube to yield 26.2 I think?
(I know a few MTBs are 26.2 here and there. Likely due to reinforced collar areas?)
